Via Philip Klein, I can’t decide whether she’s serious or whether this is part of the Democrats’ new kitchen-sink approach to “messaging” about ObamaCare. She might be calculating that even an argument as inane as this one is worth making in order to counter the GOP’s claims that O-Care is unconstitutional. If you’re battling over public opinion, why not frame the other side’s actions as being as illegitimate as your own? So on the one hand, maybe she doesn’t really buy this and is simply engaged in a shrewd bit of PR. On the other hand — dude. Thus do nine-month-old legislatively-granted entitlements, some of which haven’t even taken effect yet, become “rights.” If you take this idea seriously, then meaningful reform of Social Security and Medicare (which Lee presumably would describe as property for Due Process purposes) would require constitutional amendments, which in turn would utterly paralyze a process that’s already close to total paralysis. Or have I misunderstood? If she’s suggesting that some lesser process is due than a full Article V amendment, then, er, shouldn’t a repeal bill duly enacted by Congress suffice? Or is the argument here that people with preexisting conditions, say, have always had a right to coverage under the Constitution and only lately have we “progressed” to the point where we’re willing to recognize that right? In that case, why’d they have to pass a bill last year? Patients should have simply sued and let the courts “find” a right to coverage in the “penumbras” of the Commerce Clause or whatever.

You laugh, but she and he are the right color, and you are the wrong color, and you will find that out if you go looking for a job.
Those braids are what is known as The Crown Weave, and intentionally or not hearken back to when she said “I Am A Queen And I Demand To Be Treated Like One.”
Hint...her constituents are every bit as smart as she is!
LOL!
Well, actual monarchs or royalty are raised/trained for the duties and responsibilities of the position. That includes learning things such as courtesy, proper comportment and protocol of which Ms. Lee is seriously ignorant.
I thought Lynn Woolsey was stupid.

Yet another communist hypocritical moron.
Yet she keeps getting elected. No wonder they think Americans are all Homer Simpsons.
Oh, I could tell you a story of how Queen Shelia “michelled” the queen of Thailand long before anyone knew who queen moochel was. The Royal Family of Thailand have a long interest in science and health, for the good of their people. The Queen of Thailand was in Houston and was at a luncheon in her honor.
Shelia was invited. She was an hour late, and she showed up with a camera crew. The queen was seated on a dais, as no one is supposed to sit at the same level as the queen. Queen Shelia charged right up onto the dais and then put her hands all over the real Queen and got in her face.
The Ruchirawat family are among the most gracious and pleasant people in the world, and the Queen smiled and accepted the insults without any indication that she had been insulted. Her staff, though, and her subjects in attendance, who choose to kneel or protrate themselves before the King and Queen, out of love, not out of law, did not appreciate it at all.
Sounds like you are from her area.
Tell me, do you think she’s really dumb or does she just play dumb?
I mean, a BA from Yale and a JD from U of Virginia? That was before AA really took hold. So I have to wonder-—is she putting on some kind of act to try to fit in with the peasants?
...“I Am A Queen And I Demand To Be Treated Like One.”
???
Wow...it’s hard to believe that she used to be a man!
She is perfectly representative of her constituency...

According to which Constitution? The Martian one?
She’s insane. She represents the Houston area of Texas. That’s somehow fitting.
Did Cavuto actually tell her “YOU’RE MAKING THINGS UP!”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
That man’s got cajones, that’s all there is to it! ;-)
>Is it really unconstitutional to repeal a bill that’s unconstitutional? I’m confused.<
maybe it is that double negative rule or something?
Her verbiage is clearly unconstipational..
She’s beyond the valley of the super stupid
